It used to be that you needed a computer science degree to become a full stack developer, but now those same skills are being offered across the web. This 8-course bundle is one example of well-rounded training that will teach you everything you need to know. Here's a breakdown of what it's about:

To be a successful full-stack developer, you need to be well-versed in both front end and back end technologies. The Full Stack Web Development Course is here to teach you the basics on both sides of the equation. You'll learn basic front-end technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, as well as popular back-end tools like Node, PHP, and Angular.

ReactJS has become one of the most sought-after skills in the tech industry—and this course will make sure you can add it to your resume with confidence. Projects in ReactJS: The Complete React Learning Course will teach you how to use React APIs to make your workflows simpler and faster. You'll also learn a variety of associated technologies like JavaScript, jQuery, Twitter Bootstrap, and more.

A household name in the tech world, JavaScript lets you quickly build robust, scalable apps, which is why it's used so often. Alternatively, JQuery simplifies client-side HTML scripting. Projects in JavaScript & JQuery will teach you both by walking you through a series of 10 projects encompassing everything from YouTube API integration to content slider creation. Plus, you'll learn how to craft dynamic, feature-rich apps with ease.

In the beginning, we had AOL Instant Messenger and Clippy the trusty Microsoft helper. Shortly thereafter, Facebook created ReactJS and Flux, and it was just as revolutionary (some would even say more). ReactJS and Flux: Learn By Building 10 Projects will give you the skills you need to master these technologies by building 10 different projects.

MongoDB is one of the most popular NoSQL database solutions available and will be essential to your back-end knowledge. Projects in MongoDB: Learn MongoDB Building 10 Projects will quickly enhance your ability to handle data with ease and speed up your development times.

PHP may sound like just another pointless acronym, but it's actually a very well-regarded and popular programming language. This course – Projects Using PHP Frameworks – will improve your knowledge of PHP by building 10 real, functional projects like an actual online patient manager.

Node.js is an open source cross-platform environment for creating server-side and network apps, and you're about to become an expert in it. This course – Learn NodeJS by Building 10 Projects – will give you practical experience in a number of important Node.js technologies such as HTML, CSS, and NoSQL. By the time you're finished, you'll have everything you need to create lightweight, highly scalable web apps.

The best way to become a web developer is to dive into HTML5 and JavaScript, two of the most advanced web programming languages in use today. In this course (Projects in HTML5), you'll build a variety of fully-functioning apps, games, and websites and be well on your way towards a profitable career in front-end development.
